Roger W. Babson
Firm Believer
In Religion
In Business
American business has no more I
inspiring personality than Roger
W. Babson, internationally-known
business commentator and invest
ment adviser. An outstanding fea
ture of his philosophy has been
his life-long insistence on the im- 1
portance of religion in business.
Born in 1875. reared in an old- i
fashioned atmosphere of hard
work and hustle on a farm in :
Gloucester. Mr. Babson went to j
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Upon graduating in
1898, he turned iustinctively to
financial and business activities, j
His exertions, however, under- 1
mined his health; he contracted
tuberculosis and he was sent West
"as good as dead"! It was while
he was convalescing from this
dread malady that he worked out
some of the possibilities and prob
lems of business statistics.
That was more than forty-five
vears ago. Today his weekly statis
tical and financial reports are
read by thousands of businessmen
and his research work is carried
on by a large staff of workers.
Mr. Babson founded Babson In
stitute for men; and, in coopera
tion with Mrs. Babson, developed
Webber College for women, ? both
nationally-known educational in
stitutions. Here young men and
women may concentrate more in
the fundamentals and less on the
frills of business
More recently he hss completed
the arrangements for another Col
lege named ? Utopia" which is lo
cated in Eureka, Kansas, the cent
er of Mr. Babsons "Magic Circle"
Here people of all ages may check
their financial well-being much as
at the Mayo Clinic they would
check their physical well-being. He
is also reviving an interest in Sir
Thomas More who ? 400 years ago
? outlined in his "Utopia" the only
solution to our problems.
To millions of newspaper read
ers, Mr. Babson is best known by
his familiar weekly stories on busi
ness which appear in more than
380 papers throughout North \
merica. Of unbounded energy.
Roger W. Babson has probably
done more than any other man to
happy

"White Gypsy"
Seen By Large
Audience Thursday
?r
ANDREWS: ? The "White Gyp
sy" an operetta in two acts was
presented by the grammar grade
department of the Andrews Ele
mentary school in the school audi
torium Thursday night of last
week. The main auditorium was
packed to capacity and it was
necessary to use the balcony for
the overflow. An operetta given
by the elementary school each
year is always looked forward to
ty the people of the community,
and it is considered by many of
them as the outstanding school
acitivity of the year.
The story of the "White Gypsy"
is interesting. The curtain opens
with a fiesta in progress in the
forest. The Gypsies are reprimand
ed for making merry while their
Chief languishes in a dungeon,
where he has been cast by the
'Kink', brother of the King of
the Gyros, a white people, whose
domain includes the forest.
The Kink has seized the throne,
driven the King from the palace,
and locked the Princess in the
tower. She escapes and flees to
the Gypsy Camp, where she falls
exhausted and unconscious. The
young tribesman. Kon. induces her
to stay with his people, disguised
as a gypsy. Romany Rose befriends
the Princess, but Jola casts jealous
eyes upon her.
Jola goes to the palace and
steals the Kink's wig and crown.
He becomes an object of ridicule,
and loses his power over the Gy
ros. He and his two Spies escape.
He disguises himself as the Sultan
of Duck and journeys to the Gyp
sy camp to obtain a charm for his
baldness Romany Rose penetrates
his disguise, and he and his Spies
are seized by the Gypsies and put
in chains. As both Gyros and Gyp
sies feel that they have been
wronged by the Kink they join in
a song of vengeance.
The exiled King has established
his court in the depth of the for
est. He and his Attendants and
Soldier arc off on a hunt, and
Gypsies and Gyros mingle togeth
er as they await their return.
bring statistics to life, to instil a
broader vision in businessmen, and
to publicize the ups-and-downs of
the business cycle.
